GROUND FLOOR
Tucked away along a picturesque garden path, this enchanting period home welcomes you via a spacious porch and generous boot room—ideal for muddy wellies after countryside walks. From here, step into the heart of the home: the kitchen, nestled within the original 1700s cottage and brimming with charm. Exposed beams, classic pantile flooring, and a Rangemaster with electric hob set the scene, while views over the private garden, swimming pool, and the tranquil Yelverton Pond add a touch of serenity to daily life.
A breakfast bar offers casual dining, while the open-plan space comfortably accommodates a large dining table and features an electric stove. Flowing effortlessly from the kitchen is the stunning garden room, thoughtfully designed with dual-aspect views to the pool and gardens, and cleverly placed windows offering glimpses of the duck pond without compromising privacy. Flooded with natural light from Velux skylights, the garden room provides a seamless indoor-outdoor connection with French doors opening to the patio—ideal for alfresco dining in the summer months. A log burner nestled on a pantile hearth brings warmth and ambiance on cooler evenings.
Conveniently positioned just off the garden room is a hallway leading to a well-appointed downstairs shower room, ideal for refreshing after a dip in the pool.
Further down the hallway, a spiral staircase leads to a mezzanine double bedroom, creating a unique and cosy retreat before reaching the barn. The barn offers flexible accommodation, currently utilised as an inviting guest space complete with bunk beds and a generous games area. Exposed brickwork, Velux windows, and high ceilings give this space a rustic yet airy feel, ideal for entertaining or extended family stays. This space has the opportunity to be used in a variety of ways depending on the needs of the occupiers.
Back through the kitchen, you are led into the formal dining room. This elegant space features an open fire (currently sealed but with potential for reinstatement), double doors leading out to the garden, and a glazed internal door which enhances natural light flow throughout the home.
From the dining room, double doors open into the sitting room—a peaceful, triple-aspect haven with garden views from every angle. An electric fire adds warmth and ambiance, while the surrounding hydrangeas, when in bloom, create a delightful seasonal display just outside the windows.
Throughout the property, thoughtful design ensures maximum privacy, while still offering excellent access to nearby Norwich, making this an ideal retreat that balances rural tranquillity with city convenience.

FIRST FLOOR
At the top of the stairs, the first floor offers a well-considered layout that maximises both light and outlook. To the left, a step down to the principal bedroom—an elegant and tranquil space set withing the eaves allows for views across the beautifully maintained garden and the duck pond. There is a further double bedroom, also enjoying the same stunning outlook across the water.
To the right of the stairs, a couple of steps leads up to a further double bedroom with views over the swimming pool—ideal for guests or family members wanting a touch of privacy. Another double bedroom benefits from an en suite W.C. and leads through to an additional room, which could serve as a fifth upstairs bedroom, a dressing room, nursery, or home office—depending on your needs.
Centrally positioned on the landing is the well-appointed family bathroom, providing easy access from all bedrooms.
As previously mentioned, an additional bedroom is located in the barn, accessed via a spiral staircase. This space is ideal for guests, older children, or multi-generational living, offering both separation and flexibility within the home
